Rugby & Hockey Mini Tour
Our U13 Rugby and Hockey teams enjoyed a weekend sports tour to Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.
They had a fantastic weekend staying at West Hill Park School before taking a ferry to the Isle of Wight to enjoy a sports festival.
Pupils were asked to give their highlights of the weekend:
- "I loved going to Hampshire and my favourite part was playing schools that we wouldn't normally get to play (West Hill Park and Ryde) and it was nice being able to play in a different setting." Megan
- "I had a great time on the Hampshire/Isle of Wight tour. My highlights were probably playing against some different schools that really challenged us to work as a team. I also really enjoyed spending time with my friends and going somewhere else with them." Euan
- "I enjoyed playing the rugby matches because it challenged us to work as a team and play at our best level. I also liked going to West Hill Park School's swimming pool!" Charlie
- "I really enjoyed the Hampshire tour. My highlight was the festival on the Saturday morning. It really put our rugby abilities to the test and I think it was very beneficial for our rugby, and playing against different schools was very nice as well. The meatball sub at the end of the matches made the hard work worthwhile!" Charles
- "I had a great time in Hampshire. My favourite part was having an amazing win against Ryde." Ela
- "I had an amazing time on the Isle of Wight. I loved watching the rugby and the food was very good. My highlight was the rugby as it was a good to see the boys play at 100%. Thank you for an amazing weekend." Rupert
- "I really enjoyed playing against some schools we haven't played before (Ryde and West Hill Park). It was a really fun weekend." Alicia
- "I really liked playing rugby on the beach and watching New Zealand batter Ireland in the Autumn Nation on TV – but most of all I liked playing against the different teams when we went to the Isle of Wight." William
- "I really enjoyed the Isle of Wight and Hampshire tour. My highlight was playing rugby against St John's Leatherhead. It was a very good technical game and it was really well played by both teams." Toby
- "I really enjoyed the Isle of Wight. The highlight was playing against all the bigger schools and that definitely challenged us!" Will
- "I really enjoyed playing Hockey against the other teams. It was a really fun sports trip." Kitty
- "I enjoyed the ferry and hospitality. It was a great weekend!" Fergus
